The article explains how the Orb, a physical device, scans users' irises to create a unique World ID, serving as a proof-of-personhood layer for the internet. Backed by Sam Altman, the initiative aims to provide a biometric verification solution in a digital landscape increasingly populated by synthetic content, raising questions about trust, privacy, and the potential centralization of identity systems.
